I love my food and growing my own vegetables, this summer we are still waiting for the tomatoes and runner beans to sprout. I do my own home baked cakes and I cook a lot at home I like to make food from different countries. I make thai chicken soups and I love mexican food. I love cook books and trying out the recpies I made jam out of our black currants and I had an abundance of loganberries which yielded several pots of jam. when I travel we like to visit Museums and places of interest to the rest of the world when travelling.especially catherdrals. When I was younger,I travelled by hitch hiking and with a back pack that is quiet a while ago! I like to give my guest the closest to 5star accommodation in my house all bed linen is 100% cotton and the pillows and duvets are down feather fillings (I also have non feather for those elergic to feathers). I also have available a one bedroom self catering apt in the courtyard. There are plenty of sitting areas in the gardens, The area is very quiet with mountain views.. I respect peoples privacy but I am always available if anything is needed etc. Adare village is close by with several restaurants and the pubs have traditional irish music most nights. the Kerry and Clare beaches are 45 mins away. Limerick city is 10 mins. shannon Airport door to door is 40 mins. I like to make my visitors feel at home and make sure that they have all they need during their stay at Barnalick. If you want quiet and seclusion want to write or study this would be a good spot.

I booked this mainly on behalf of my brother and sister. The directions were very easy to follow and we found the cottage without any difficulty. It is a well equipped and comfortable home with a friendly helpful owner. It is a great location for getting out and about close to a fast road but far enough away to be bother by it.

I stayed in Grania's place for one night. The dierctions Grania provided were very clear and it was easy to find. The accomodation itself was top class. Lovely living area and a nice comfortable bed. The shower was good and strong and overall it was a very pleasant stay. Grania was very helpful, she gave me a lift into the village, and she also had some cake left out on my arrival. Little touches make all the difference! I would highly recommend staying here, its very comfortable accomodation in a quiet area with a great host!

We stayed 5 nights because we loved it so much. Grania and Joe are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and warm but not intrusive. Each day Grania brought us something freshly baked! Both were so helpful with each aspect of our stay.
I was sad to leave Barnalicka cottage. It is clean an pretty and just perfect. The countryside and Adare are nothing short of enchanted.

Grania was a wonderful host, and the cottage was a really lovely place to stay. Grania met us (she lives next door) and made us feel very welcome and left scones and butter, which was very nice. She gave us some very good tips of what to see in Adare, which is a charming village about 2km from the cottage. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely time staying in the cottage in Adare. We were there for 3 nights to attensd wedding. The cottage was in a perfect location, just 3km outside the village and it was nice to return to the peace and quiet of the countyside after the wedding celebrations.
The cottage itself is perfect, the pictures don't do it justice! The place is lovely and has everything you need for your stay. Grania had also left some basics in the cottage, such as tea/coffee, milk, bread which is always handy if you are arriving late.
Grania and Joe were extremely friendly and helpful with anything we needed and a slight mix up at the start of the booking was resolved quickly.
I would definitely recommend staying at this cottage. It is in a beautiful location in the countryside yet only a few minutes away from Adare village. The cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind and I hope to get back for another visit.

What a tremendous place to relax after traveling for a few weeks; beautiful countryside and the apartment was absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable. Just fabulous that we Grania lent two bicycles to toodle around on the back roads into Adare.
